Sampling and characterization of cupola emissions / R.D. Warda and R.K. Buhr, Physical Metallurgy Division.: M38-1/266-1973E-PDF

"This report is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the sampling technique employed and its reliability and, the second, with the actual results obtained at six iron foundries. The stack sampling method adopted was originally used extensively for the sampling of flue gases from combustion processes. Modifications were made to make the sampling trains more rugged, portable, and responsive to the rapidly changing conditions in a cupola stack. The equipment was field tested over a 12-week period during which detailed measurements were made on the emissions produced by six iron foundry cupolas. The reliability and practicability of the method used was assessed by statistical analyses and materials balance calculations. It is shown that repetitive sampling is mandatory if statistically significant results are to be obtained"--Abstract, page i.
